It's not obvious that the question-asker is female? Also I think there's some normalisation here - the 1970s were just a different world.

I'm not sure Benny Hill would address another man as "dear heart"

Benny Hill probably would use "dear heart" with either sex, it's a (possibly affected) local dialect thing.

? I just found him self-critical, tbh. "no one that good'd go out with the likes of me anyway".

I think, having spent far too much time on this, I like Tim Nicholls' answer the best. All I can find on him are several videos of the BBC1 signoffs from the eighties.
